Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Supercharging Your Microservices With NetflixOSS and Spring Cloud

We’re now in a period of unprecedented openness and collaboration among technical colleagues. Instead of building systems made up of proprietary technology and closely-guarded local knowledge, companies are constructing modern microservices with the help of open source software and patterns evangelized by forward-thinking members of the community. This sharing of assets helps developers build more reliable software, faster. And almost no one shares their software assets quite like Netflix.
